You are not alone. After challenging two much younger newbies to the Seagull Century I have neglected training. I've had a cold / sinus infection / creeping crud for the last three weeks that has kept me sidelined. If I can get some rides in over the next 6 weeks I might be able to complete the metric century instead.
I rode the Civil War half century a few years ago and even that had some climbing. The largest hill in the Seagull is one highway overpass - it makes up for it with brutal headwinds.
